Expert-led event series for entrepreneurs
Exit Right is an expert-led, must-attend event series for any entrepreneur looking to drive their business from start-up to exit.
Hosted by experts in their fields, the six talks are a series of masterclasses to help founders and their senior management teams to successfully grow and exit their business. Speakers include CEOs of successful start-ups who will give first-hand advice, as well as heads of companies and organisations that work to support entrepreneurs, such as incubators, solicitors, HR consultants, marketing and branding experts, and funders.
The talks are 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. For those that want to meet the speakers, events will be held at the Oxford Trust’s Wood Centre for Innovation in Headington and will also be live-streamed. Each event will be followed by drinks and networking at the Centre. Tickets are free. Register for individual events below.
